Bestie Love Options is a 12-second AI dance video in which you and a friend wave in pyjamas, then hard-cut to a flower wall and dance the "Love Options" hand routine, made from two photos. This guide answers the deeper questions that the main page does not: why the song came back, what "Bestie" means, how the transition works and what to watch for before you post.
Key takeaways
- "Love Options" is a 2013 song by the K-pop group BESTie that charted again in Korea from 27 August 2026.
- "Bestie" is the group's name, though many people dance the routine with a best friend.
- The video needs two photos, one per person, and runs 12 seconds with a hard cut at 4.3 seconds.
- One clip is 10 credits on Standard at 720p, and a failed render returns its credits.
- The song is copyrighted: commercial use needs clearance or a different sound.

Why did a 2013 song take off again in 2026?
BESTie released "Love Options" on 17 October 2013 as its second single, according to Wikipedia. Thirteen years later it climbed back up the charts. The Korea Times reports that it entered Melon's daily chart on 27 August 2026 and had reached No. 175 by 7 September. It also appeared on Apple Music's Korea Top 100 and YouTube Music's weekly chart, and it hit No. 1 on Shazam in both Korea and Vietnam.
The spark was a short fan-made video. Asian Junkie dates the song's return on TikTok and Instagram Reels to around May 2026, and says a Hearts2Hearts choreography video set to it accelerated the spread. The Korea Times counts more than 180,000 TikTok posts using the track. Short video did the work that radio once did: a 12-second chorus was easy to copy, so people copied it.
What is the Lemon Tang mashup and why does it matter?
Hearts2Hearts is a current K-pop group, and "Lemon Tang" is one of its performances. A fan paired that choreography with "Love Options", and the moves fit the older melody so well that the clip got its own nickname, "Lemon Tang March", per the Korea Times. It is the clearest example of why the song came back: the match was visual first and musical second.
For you this means the trend is not one fixed routine owned by one creator. We have not identified a single first dance post, and we do not name an original creator on the page. What can be said is that the mashup was a major catalyst, and that the 12-second chorus hand routine is what people now recognise as the Love Options dance.
Is "Bestie" a group or a best friend?
It is a group. BESTie is a South Korean girl group formed by YNB Entertainment. Wikipedia lists Hyeyeon, Uji, Dahye and Haeryung as members, and says the group debuted on 11 July 2013 with the single "Pitapat". Three members had previously been in EXID. In September 2017 Uji and Dahye left, and the group disbanded in 2018.
The name caused a lucky accident for search. Because "bestie" is also slang for best friend, many people dance the routine in pairs, and "bestie love options" reads like a dance for two friends. That is why our Bestie Love Options page is built for two photos: one of you, one of your friend. The song title in Korean, 연애의 조건, means roughly "the conditions for dating", which has nothing to do with friendship.
Did BESTie really reunite after the trend?
According to Wikipedia, the four members announced a reunion on 16 October 2026, eight years after disbanding. On 27 October the group confirmed a full comeback on Show! Music Core on 31 October, its first music show performance in 11 years.
Asian Junkie, published on 22 September, noted that at that time it had found no Korean news confirming a comeback, even though some English reports claimed one. The two sources are consistent once you look at the dates: the article was written before the announcement. If you write about this, use the dates and say where you read them.
How does the pyjamas to glam transition work?
The duo version has two parts. For the first 4.3 seconds you and your friend stand waist-up by a plain wall in sleepwear, waving and making small finger frames. Then a hard cut on the beat takes you to the same two people dressed up in front of a wall of green vines and pink flowers, doing the chorus hand routine and ending on a heart pose.
The cut is the hardest part to keep. Many AI renders blur the change into a slow morph, which kills the joke. In the Bestie Love Options version the motion comes from a real reference clip, so the cut lands at 4.3 seconds in a 12-second video. The sleepwear before the cut is generic; your own outfits from your photos appear after the cut.
Which two photos should you pick?
Choose sharp, front-facing photos with the face large in frame and no sunglasses, masks or hair over the eyes. The faces are big in the shot, so a small or dark selfie gives the model too little to hold through 12 seconds of hand movement.
Pick a photo in which you wear the outfit you want after the cut, because that is the look that appears at the flower wall. Match the light: two photos in similar daylight look as if you were filmed together, while a dark selfie next to a sunny one makes one person look pasted in. You can also upload a single photo of you both, with you on the left and your friend on the right. A waist-up photo with arms in view helps sleeves and bracelets come out right.
Can you do it alone, or with someone who is not a friend?
The page is built around two people, and the video always shows exactly two adults. If you upload the same person twice, the result is that person dancing with an identical twin. That can be funny, but it is not a true solo.
If you want a solo dance, one of the other dance pages on videosi is a better fit than forcing this one. If you want a partner who is a sibling, a cousin or a colleague, nothing stops you: the photos decide who appears, and the routine stays friendly and playful. Each person takes their own face, hair and build from their own photo, and the two are not mixed.
Why is a hand dance hard for AI video?
The Love Options routine is almost entirely hands at chest and face height: finger frames, waves, cheek pokes and a closing heart. Video models tend to give stiff arms or extra fingers when asked for fast, small hand shapes, and the fingers are exactly what makes the clip read as Love Options.
Two more problems show up with two dancers. The model can swap or blend the two people, so a friend ends up with your hair, and it can let the faces of the reference dancers leak back in. We handle this by using a real duo clip as the motion reference and tying each photo to one side of the frame. Fast moves can still blur for a few frames, and likeness is not guaranteed.
Can you post the clip with the original song?
The clip comes with the trend sound already on it, so it is ready to post. The song, however, belongs to its rights holders, and videosi is not affiliated with BESTie or their label. For a personal social post, using the trend sound inside TikTok or Reels is the normal route, and swapping in the platform's own "Love Options" sound keeps the music licensed through the app.
For an ad, a brand account, a paid campaign or any commercial use, the song needs to be cleared with the rights holder, or you should replace it with music you have the right to use. Label the video as AI-generated where the platform asks you to. Nothing in this guide is legal advice.
What does one Love Options video cost, and what if it fails?
A 12-second video on the Standard model costs 10 credits at 720p or 5 credits at 480p. A Single pack is $6.99 for 10 credits, and plans start from $29.90 a month. Credits never expire. Better models cost more per clip.
A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically, so a bad run does not cost you. If the likeness is off, change the photos before you retry: a sharper, brighter, front-facing photo fixes most misses. The Bestie Love Options page shows the current model options before you press Generate.
